It's been awhile hasn't it?
I'm good. I'm really really good. The YAZ continues to help in a significant way. After testing positive for gluten sensitivity I went off of it (gluten), which made me feel better in general and reduced bloating! Who needs more bloating than PMS and PMDD bring?
I was off of gluten for quite awhile before I caved and ate a cinnamon raisin English muffin about one week ago. And then I ate another the next day. And one the next day. A handful of days ago I sent off an email to someone about gluten and PMDD and how my husband thinks it negatively influences my mood. I wasn't convinced until three days ago when I just flew off the handle in a very PMDD like fashion. You know, the moment when you are absolutely right and your mean voice is perfectly fine (except maybe somewhere in your mind you're sort of standing off to the side thinking What the hell?). In my case I had my fit and then went into the bedroom, cried, then thought What the hell, and decided to stop with the gluten.
After that happened I stopped eating gluten again and I have to tell you that the mood stabilized quickly. I just don't want to take the chance. I don't want to feel like PMDD makes me feel EVER. English muffins just aren't worth it.
Anyone else out there have any gluten and PMDD stories?
I was looking through my journal at the last entry (February) where I had been PMDD symptom free for two days and how two days made me feel so cautiously hopeful. But look! Three months now. I feel like I have my life back again. So try YAZ if you can and if you haven't. Let me know how it goes, and don't forget, it was rocky for me at first. It took a little time that first month for my mood to adjust. But oh my gosh it has been so very different from any other birth control pill I've ever been on.
